My tribute to the Adventures of Lolo games for the NES.
I'm not too happy with the end result here. I love all the individual drawings, but it looks very obvious that it's comprised of many parts just slapped together, and the little level enemies kind of got too small and are almost entirely lost back there. Ah well.
Lolo was a super fun game by Hal labs. It was a brain-bending puzzle/adventure game that required you to utilize all enemies, items and surroundings in a room to collect all the heart blocks and move onto the next room. You assumed the role of Lolo, the little blue dude, who enters the Devil's Tower to rescue the Princess Lala, the little pink dude-ette, from the Great Devil. Each area was a floor in the tower, and after so many rooms per floor, you moved onto the next. The Great Devil, although looking rather menacing, is hands down the most dissapointing villain ever - you don't even battle him! When you complete the final stage, you are presented with a quick cutscene where Lolo walks up to the Great Devil, then simply puts him in an egg (that's what he does for some reason...) and kicks him away. I don't know if you actually get to battle him in Lolo 2, since I've never beat that one. I can get up to a stage or 2 before the final stage but as far as I'm concerned, that stage is LITERALLY impossible. Lolo 3 was OK, but kind of a dissapointment, and I never played that one back in my NES glory days.
Most people probably better know Lolo and Lala from Hal's "Kirby" series, where they appear as bosses and have unnecessarily longer names. I still don't get how Kirby became Hal's claim to fame and Lolo, a totally unique series with memorable and challenging gameplay, remains totally ignored. No offense to Kirby fans, but I've kind of always just viewed that series as a retard game. It's like an ultra dumbed-down platformer with close to no unique charm at all. I've never been able to get into Kirby at all, but Lolo remains one of the NES's greatest treasures. If you have never played Lolo, than you are missing out on a wonderful gaming experience, my friend.
Enjoy.
